THE ADVANTAGES OF KUHN SHREDDERS*

1 THE ADVANTAGES OF SHREDDING ADVANTAGES METHODS Crop residue management Improvement of soil structure Pest and disease management Weed management All elements that could hinder seeding or germination are removed from the future seeding row Accelerated residue decomposition for quicker transformation into humus Destruction of fungal inoculum and insect living environment for optimum crop growth Destruction of pasture that could reduce the quality of grassland THE ADVANTAGES OF KUHN SHREDDERS* Some of the specifi cs of KUHN shredders BENEFITS Price/ Maintenance cost Safety Shredding capacity Robustness Roller with removable ends and greasing system... Bolted sheet metal lining... Permanent lubrication... Sheet metal lining... Machine weight... Number of belts... Powerband belts... Automatic belt tensioning... Linkage frame... Bronze alveolate bearing shells / Pins stopped from rotating NON-STOP safety.... Counter blade... Rotor speed... Tools... Helical layout... Divider share / More tools per m² in the center (RM-R)... Roller closer to rotor... Roller cleaned by tools... Front protectors in galvanized steel... Low cost easy maintenance of roller bearings Interchangeable No maintenance Increased wear and shock resistance Ensured strength and stability Optimum power transmission Reliable and lower maintenance costs No risk of slippage Extremely robust Increased rigidity, higher resistance against mechanical constraints reliable articulations Faced with an obstacle, the shredding unit pivots to the rear then returns automatically Reduced section for fi ner shredding (Interchangeable if bolted) Faster for improved residue suction Wide choice depending on use Improved residue suction On foldable RM: Moves the central strip towards the rotors Optimum decomposition of non-compacted grass by roller Optimum ground contouring Optimum protection against shocks from stones (not the case with chains or plastic protectors) *Function of each model KUHN S.A. - 4 Impasse des Fabriques - BP F Saverne CEDEX - To protect the environment, this leafl et is printed on chlorine-free paper. / Printed in France GB Copyright KUHN 2012
